The Furniture & Design department includes a large number of highlights, especially from the Nordic countries, with several exquisite pieces of furniture. Only to mention a few architects and designers included in the sale: Axel Einar Hjorth, Josef Frank, Poul Kjaerholm and Hans J Wegner. The highlights are especially a sofa and a coffee table from the series ”Typenko” by Axel Einar Hjorth, a pair of ”PK25” lounge chairs by Poul Kjæerholm, and an office chair ”Swivel Chair” by Hans J. Wegner. In this spring’s auction we can also present important pieces from sought-after designers such as Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé and Serge Mouille. All three designers are considered the most accomplished furniture creators of the fifties and they have become a synonym with the French modernistic movement along with Pierre Jeanneret, Le Corbusier, Jean Royère, Jacques Adnet and more. Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé collaborated on several projects and the duo has made some of the most sought-after furniture in our time, for instance the daybed ”Scal No. 450 Antony” which is included in this spring’s auction.

Besides a fantastic category of furniture we can present a a wide range of ceramics by different artists. The Danish designer Axel Salto has made a handfull included in Modern Art + Design, all with a playful yet elegant expression. Salto was one of his time’s most experimental and versatile culture personalities and contributed to introduce modern art in Denmark. Bukowskis can also present a large range of magnificent vases by Berndt Friberg, a unique large scale bitter orange by Hans Hedberg and last but not least, a large number of unusually fine ceramics by Pablo Picasso executed in Madoura, Vallauris, France in the middle of the 20th century. Picasso's ceramics always carry an air of ’du jour’ but even more so now with the current exhibition at the Danish Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
